Shipping Games from Baltimore to Kansas City via Ocean Freight

For humidity-sensitive games, Use a two-stage approach: inner poly sleeve around the product or retail box, then a Sturdy corrugated carton with cushioning. Place Desiccant packs for long-distance or ocean shipments of leisure products.

For most sports equipment and leisure products, a general-purpose container Is sufficient, but exporters should confirm door seals and Add drying agents. For collector leisure products with sensitive cardboard or printed materials, Consider enhanced humidity control on routes with large temperature swings.

To reduce stacking damage for moderately heavy sports equipment and leisure products, Use higher burst-strength cartons, manage pallet height, and Place edge protectors. Prominently label pallets of Toys with “Single Stack Only” where appropriate, and confirm heavier Sporting goods are not loaded on top of lighter Toys and games.

Yes, many countries have product safety and labeling rules for Toys and games. Exporters should confirm that all Toys meet destination standards (such as ASTM/EN standards) and that test reports is available if customs requests it. Some Sporting goods, such as items with pressurized containers, may also fall under restricted articles rules and require Special packing.

Because toys and leisure products often have strong resale value and are vulnerable to Moisture damage, arranging shipment insurance makes sense. Insure your games at commercial invoice value and Confirm that the policy includes humidity damage, especially for ocean or long-term storage moves.

Toys and sporting goods should be packaged securely to withstand ocean transport, including protection against moisture and potential impacts. It is important to ensure that packaging complies with safety standards and regulations applicable to the products being shipped.
